How Do Car Door Locks Work?
Today’s auto locking systems can be controlled in multiple ways:
-
Remote key fob (transmits radio signals)
-
Manual key insert
-
Interior door lock/unlock buttons
Each method ultimately communicates with a key component called the door lock actuator, which triggers the locking mechanism. Here’s how the system works:
-
The actuator, located below the key latch, is activated via your fob or internal controls.
-
Metal rods link the actuator to both the door latch and the lock/unlock knob.
-
When activated, the actuator moves the latch to lock or unlock the door.
-
In the unlocked position, the door handle is connected to the latch, allowing the door to open.
-
In the locked position, the handle is disconnected, preventing external access.
If this mechanism fails, due to worn actuators, disconnected rods, or faulty electronics, your locks may stop responding.
Signs You May Need Auto Lock Repair
Your vehicle may need professional lock repair if:
-
Your remote key fob doesn’t lock/unlock the doors

-
